Mapping worlds is a programme of movement workshops for children aged 6 to 8 designed to encourage creative exploration of the relationship between the body and space.
Taking its cue from the senses of touch, hearing and sight, the workshop will invite participants to listen to themselves, to get to know themselves, to express themselves and to transform together through a sensitive relationship with that which lies outside them.
At a time when our experience with others is heavily restricted, mapping worlds is a space in which we can safeguard a joyful and inquisitive rapport with the outside world and experience both the self and the world through movement practices allowing individual expression and enhancing differences.
Marina Donatone, a dancer and choreographer, trained with the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy and in the training course in education to movement for children known as La danza va a scuola (Dance Goes to School) run by the Choronde Progetto Educativo association..

In her capacity as an author she has produced performances for the stage and for non-theatrical spaces including the Museo Civico in Bassano del Grappa, the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, the Museo De Felice/CAOS in Terni and the PAV Parco Arte Vivente.
In her work she seeks a body in formation donating itself to the choreographical system as active material, working with, and being shaped by, the relationships in which it immerses itself, bringing its implacable composition with it.
